Starting a Roadside Assistance Business

Are you the type of person who can manage a business 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Then the startup designed for you is the roadside assistance business which requires a person to be ready to serve people from all walks of life.

This guide will help you get started in the roadside assistance industry if you plan to start in the roadside assistance business.

roadside assistance business

You will be very busy in this service business because you must perform several services, such as towing cars to the nearest auto mechanic shop, repairing flat tires, bringing customers' gasoline, jumpstarting dead batteries, and unlocking the cars. To win this kind of business, you must have the most heavy-duty and high-quality materials, such as jumper cables, repair tools for flat tires, locksmith tools, a gas can, a cell phone, and a tow truck.

Helpful Advice for Starting a Roadside Assistance Business

Prior exposure: Your know-how will count a lot in this business. It is a requirement for you to have experience in being a roadside assistant.

Buying tools and accessories: If you are pretty confident in doing the job well, your next step is to buy the tools needed for the trade. In this business, you can do the job yourself or hire employees to perform all the required services. Depending on your funds, you can buy a flatbed tow truck to provide more services to customers having large vehicles.

Get ready to accept payment: You must open a merchant account and buy a POS machine to swipe a credit or debit card.

Ways to price your service: The business structure is fundamental. With the right plan, you can make a substantial amount of money. If the service is required at night, then you can add surcharges. This is the best part of this business regarding increasing profits. You will have to do your homework to find a competitive price to charge for your service in the neighborhood.

Calculating profit: Every business person looks forward to finding their ROI. Your total earnings minus all expenses, including the interest you pay towards the loan, will profit you. You must consider the added costs if a particular employee has been hired to render service on a night shift. Don't forget to add the bookkeeping expenses if you are outsourcing it. Finally, you will get a profit figure before tax.

Finalizing area of operation: Next, you need the coverage area to be defined. By doing this, you will be able to cut costs on gasoline expenses. To ensure you adhere to the rules and regulations in your area when operating this kind of business, you must check your local police department carefully. It would help if you also asked them how to add your business to get listed on the call list. With this, they can contact you when they need roadside assistance during accident scenes.

Beating the competition: Since this is an in-demand business, you must also consider your competitors. Check out how they advertise their business and what additional or special services they provide.

Advertisement: You must advertise your business to get more leads and conversions.

FAQ

  1. How much does it cost to start a roadside assistance business?

    The direct cost involved in starting this business is buying a towing truck. Depending on a new/pre-owned vehicle, the rate will vary from $10,000-$200,000. Other formalities, including insurance, tools, and paperwork, will cost $7,000-$10,000.

  2. How to get a business license for roadside assistance?

    If you finalize to provide towing services, you must procure three licenses and all other local permits for a business. You must call your clerk's office for local licenses for more information. For towing services, you need the following keys.

    Indictment management is required by a tow truck to tow a vehicle when the law enforcement officer initiates the request.

    Privet property is required by a tow truck to tow a vehicle when the parking facility owner initiates the request.

    Consent tows are required by a tow truck to tow a vehicle when the vehicle owner initiates the request.

  3. Do you need commercial auto liability insurance?

    Yes, you need commercial insurance even if you are not planning to tow a car.

You can check out some comments on reddit.com. The average insurance cost per year will be around $3,000.

  • Harry Chestnut said on January 7, 2011
    The article is very helpful, I am in the process of starting up my own roadside assistant business and don't know if I can afford a rollback at this time. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the wrecker and the rollback? The wrecker seem to be more affordable at this time. How would you actually get started, I understand the part about the Police and Sheriff dept,. Are there any other suggestions that you can share like hooking up with a company like AAA or some other company. Any other information on how to market the business would be great. I myself have experience in hauling cars and automotive experience, management in the auto industry, over the road truck driver as well. Thank You in advance for all your help and advise.

    I am currently a Texas Peace Officer. Before I came into the law enforcement field I was a auto body and paint ASE/ICAR Master technician. Before I became a technician I had been working with my uncle at his tow truck company (Valley Towing & Storage) located in Brownsville, Texas for more than thirteen years. I had been working part-time on vehicles for extra cash. But now after I read this article it really motivated me to start my own roadside assistance company. I got my permits and insurance. I recently started on my own, using my personal pickup truck and tools I already had.. It felt great when I got my first service call and helped a motorist in need. Thank You for your support and knowledge. Yours truly, RVG Roadside Assistance Los Fresnos, Texas 78566.

  • ANDREAS said on November 4, 2012
    we are based in Cyprus and we are already own a roadside assistance company. We are dealing with insurances (5)but we dont make money. Probably the money that they pay us are little. Because of the competition, is very difficult to get a better price from the insurances. They advised me that we need to get a marketing manager who is going to improve our situation. The problem is that this manager will not have a clue about this business, how to close low fair contacts with associates etc. I'm trying now for 6 years but nothing is happening. Lately we don't loose money .but from the other hand we dont make money. What is yous idea about the whole thing. Must i continue trying or must i move out

    Hey I have been doing local road service lockouts, gas deliveries, jump starts, flat tires for over 2 years now at least, and advertise on Craigslist. It basically stinks, some days I will get a call or two, most days nothing. I have tried advertising other places, and get some calls, but really REALLY need some help getting hooked up with any auto clubs or AAA services to sub contract me work. I also have a crew of a couple guys as so I can take care of basically all of Long Island, NY.

  • Dave said on May 8, 2014
    update.....just found out in my area, NY, that there are hundreds of companies waiting on the waiting list for AAA, and the main corporate guy who I spoke to from NY said it would be something like 10 years before they took me as an option, since there is so many guys on the list already. So, back to the drawing board, I really want to start this up, but anyone have ideas on how to go about it without AAA? I understand I would technically be in competition with them, but locally I'm sure I can be used by a lot of people that don't currently have AAA, not to mention how many bad reviews I hear about AAA. So, if anyone has any suggestions or advice on how to go about this endeavor, please give me a shout..........david.j.weglarz@gmail.com. thanks guys, dave

    Me and my cousin is trying to start a roadside service here in the Ripley, Tn. 38063. We would like to know where to even begin we already have the equipment to do the job because currently we are mechanics. The only provider that was out here is no longer so we want to take over and assist our surrounding counties. If you can be of any assistance to us feel free to let us know

    The article is very helpful. I am in the process of starting up my own roadside assistant business and don't know if I can afford a flatbed truck at this time. How would you actually get started. I currently work for the City of Kansas City so I have access to the Police and Sheriff depts. Are there any other suggestions that you can share like hooking up with a company like AAA or some other large company? Any other information on how to market and promote the business would be great also. thanks so much

    Hello, I've been in the business for 2 years and seriously love it. But the company I work for is falling apart. I would love to run my own service in my county and provide the fastest, most professional, and friendly service. But I have no clue how to get on any call lists, how to charge these companies, ensure I get paid by these companies, and how to get the service information when a call comes through. Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I've just signed up with Honk and they are sending me quite a bit of business in Chicago for a new company, and they pay me more than AAA. They have an app for your phone that makes things much easier and pay pretty much as soon as a jobs done. Can recommend them
